Actually, I find that AmiBroker is being compared to Tradestation very
flattering. I have used TS for a number of years and it is an outstanding
program. It used to be the obvious choice for working with real time data,
but the US$2000 price was/(is) absurd. The formula language, although
stuck in a Pascal paradigm, was excellent. Most of the end of day
features are available in Super Charts at less than a tenth of the TS
price, but only with a simplified/brain damaged formula editor. Trader has
a point about considering some of the language features into AB, but, I
agree, with perhaps a bit more patience. The spped improvement alone in
AB makes it worth using for me.
Somehow. I think TJ does a very good job of speaking for himself and I'm
willing to adjust my timetable to his.
Best regards,
Jerry Coopmans
